Book a studio for an overnight stay to celebrate my wife’s birthday and we’re pleasantly surprised when we were upgraded to a one bedroom room. Location was great within walking distance to everything we wanted to do in safety Harbor. Room and grounds were very clean, check in was super simple And beds were very comfy. Definitely will stay here again in the future.

Amazing Stay in Safety Harbor

We absolutely loved our stay here! The location was fantastic—super walkable with cute restaurants just around the corner. It was easy to find with convenient parking, which made everything stress-free. We enjoyed walking down to the beach and exploring the adorable town of Safety Harbor. The rental itself was quiet, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Would absolutely recommend and would love to come back!

Cute Cozy Studio

This was the cutest little studio rental. We had just enough room and just enough amenities - it was decorated just beautifully and we felt so welcomed and relaxed during our stay. We will definitely look into staying here again when in the Tampa/Clearwater area. What a great little town!!!

Great location & wonderful host!

My husband, our adult daughter, & I stayed briefly in Safety Harbor June 18-20 & Paula briefly have been any better to work with. It was kinda last minute as we booked elsewhere & realized it was a little further away than we thought. Paula was super accommodating & we had a beautiful studio, gorgeously decorated, right in the heart of the fun & walking distance to mist places you'd want to be. We will definitely stay again!
